It’s the Colada Royale from Dole Fruit Company, and we’ve got the exclusive interview with Dr. Roberto Young, the developer behind this outstanding new pineapple. This one’s a real winner, folks!

We also catch up with Bill Goldberg from Dole Fruit Company for more insight on this tropical sensation.

But first — in the opening segment — Ross and Dan go over a few items they found intriguing, new, and exciting at the Global Produce & Floral Show in Anaheim last week.

We’ve also got Ross showing off some Michigan Honeycrisp apples and introducing a brand-new variety that knocks Dan’s socks clean off - it’s truly out of this world!

Plus, we talk about the buzz around the Colada Pineapple rollout at the IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show in Anaheim, and what we’re looking forward to seeing at this year’s big event.

This week on Fresh from the Field Fridays:

Ross the Produce Boss is flying solo while Dan is visiting the Bay Area terminal produce markets. Ross is live from Indianapolis, Indiana, where he describes his visit to Tuttle Orchards in Greenfield—sampling some fantastic cider, Pixie Crunch apples, and Ludacrisp apples with an absolutely majestic crunch!

He also digs into apple cider donuts, checks out some retail-ready action at local Indy stores, and covers jumbo blueberries, late-season plums, his favorite salad dressing, what’s sizzling on his famous Blackstone griddle, and even gives an IFPA preview.
